A great list. My #10 would be to find two or three people you like (a difficult task in law school, to be sure) and form a study group. That's really key for first semester, not so much afterward. While you should meet to review cases before class, work on outlines, etc., be sure to leave time in study group for bitching about the "gunners," the profs and everything else. Feeling that you're not alone will really help you get through the day. Keep the group small. Any more than four is unwieldy and also raises trust issues about people piggybacking on others' work. Don't run around first week looking for people to start a group with. Make friends first. Take a few weeks to look around. It's not worth hanging around with a bunch of dicks during what's going to be one of the most stressful times in your life (first semester finals).
